Green Elective Measure If a Tier is adopted, a set number of elective measures must be met, but the choice of measures is up to the applicant. Separately, local jurisdictions may make specific elective measures mandatory at their discretion. Tier requirements and the full text of CALGreen measures can be found on the Building Standards Commission website.

Credit Different LEED measures are worth varying numbers of LEED points. Higher point totals are required to meet Silver, Gold and Platinum levels of certification. LEED credits are described in the LEED reference guide.

"Earns Credit / Points in LEED" Indicates if meeting the required CALGreen measure also meets a prerequisite or earns point(s) for the related measure in LEED. "Maybe" indicates that the CALGreen measure meets part but not all of the comparable LEED prerequisite or credit.

"Meets CALGreen" Indicates whether completing the GPF prerequisite or point meets the requirements of the related CALGreen measure. "Maybe" indicates that the LEED measure meets part but not all of the comparable CALGreen measure.

IntroductionIn January 2010, California adopted the first statewide mandatory green building code in the country. In January 2011, the California Green Building Standards Code (or CALGreen) will go into effect. The new code establishes minimum green building standards for most new construction projects.

PurposeThe purpose of this document is to provide users a quick reference between CALGreen and the rating systems used in LEED for Building Design and Construction. This document does not provide extensive analysis of the similarities or differences between the rating systems or CALGreen. For full information on CALGreen see: www.bsc.ca.gov/CALGreen, for more information on LEED see: www.usgbc.org.

VerificationCALGreen is part of the California Building Standards Code and is enforced by local jurisdictions and building officials (see CALGreen Chapter 1). LEED is a voluntary rating system that is interpreted by its author, the U.S. Green Building Council, and applications are reviewed by the Green Building Certification Institute. Some California local jurisdictions have local ordinances that require use of LEED for some commercial buildings.
